U.S. Senate, Congress
New Hampshire voters, including us, have little tolerance for candidates who are recent arrivals — or put more bluntly, carpetbaggers, and that includes congressional candidate Matt Mowers and senatorial candidate Corky Messner. The polls show their rivals, Rep. Chris Pappas and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, enjoy comfortable leads, and the outsider images of their rivals and their unabashed devotion to President Donald Trump almost assures that the incumbents will hold their seats.
